Fish injury - help please!

[JBR Kiwi]

Hi just looking for a bit of advice.

I have got two goldfish and noticed today on the yellow one what looks like blood. As a precaution I have changed the water just in case of any infection but I am still slightly concerned as to what happened. All I can assume is that the fish managed to catch its side/fin on an ornament but is there anything else it can be and any other measures I can take to try and help with healing?

Thanks

Hi thank you for all the advise. We have decided to wait a little while just to see if it heals by itself because im not feeling that confident in my ability to knock out and then reawaken said goldfish We are keeping a close watch on the injury and if need be we will take further action

Im not sure whether our water was actually causing further irritation in terms of the wound so we have popped some Aquasafe treatment in the water which seems to have helped a little bit.

Yes we know that the tank is now far too small for the poor buggers seeing as they have almost doubled in size since we got them. I went out today and bought them an upgrade to a 70ltr tank so now hopefully they should be able to stretch out a bit more and have a bigger area to swim in. Bloody goldfish are costing me a sodding fortune!!
